Harvesting gold leaf

I’m sitting at 8 weeks and I see most harvest at 9-10 weeks seems iam alittle behind schedule and temperatures are dropping fast. All trichones are still milky white no color change and sure doesn’t look close to being done to me. This is my first time I’m in a greenhouse just using sun light and nutrients pack from ilgm. Any suggestions.

I would think you can hit finish line in a greenhouse…avg low at? Goldleaf has only flowered for eight weeks now? Did not start flowering untill end of aug? Good to know i will not be buying those then.

So when should a greenhouse normally start flowering. I used a light 12/12 for veg. but then when it started flowering I went to only sunlight. I might have messed with flowering time i don’t know.

Well typically it takes 60 days for a indica to mature and potentially a few extra weeks with a strong sativa. Some flower faster then others. If you were using veg lights u must have been using them longer then the natural light or flowered later then usual. I mean that looks to be really behind where they should…my best advice…unless u got a indoor setup u could move them to, i would keep the green house closed as much as possible. Alotpeople think they cant take the cold but they can in the right situation. Do your best to keep it above 32 and if it does go below, most of time they will be fine too. Ive harvested with snow on them, not ideal but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Good frost brings out the colors and the terpenes as well.

To answer your question better, it depends on your strain. I would want them to be in flower by aug15 at the latest here in ny. Ive harvested plants from early sept to end of oct.

One more thing…i had to look it up…the goldleaf is rated at 60%indica and a continental strain. Makes no sense at all y its not ready.

So I was thinking about what u said last night and my problem I had was the sun was up for 15 hours in aug so I had to get a shade cover for green house to try to block some sun light and that’s why I only ran light 12/12 in veg and once I finally got it to start flowering I left lights off so I’m confused I guess with sun light how do u get it to flower early
